Every year, we witness the changing trends in handbags being carried out on the red carpet by our favorite celebrities. A woman's outfit is never complete without the perfect handbag, and the starlets of the big screen are never complete without their trendy designer purses. Who are your favorite stars, and what designer bags are they carrying with them wherever they go?

Everyone's favorite teeny bopper, Hillary Duff, has really taken to the designs of Lauren Scherr. Whether on stage or on set, Hillary is absolutely in love with these funky bags. These handbags are a lot of fun, and this is evidenced by the extravagant materials used in their design. Our personal favorite is the Cosette black satin bucket shaped purse, which is covered in layers of pink and black ostrich feathers with sequin banding along the top. You go girl!

Paris Hilton, of television and internet fame, has been seen around Los Angeles carrying bags from Surly Girl Studios. These bags have become very popular with her legions of fans, and we can see why. These bags have a very simple and classic design, with a hint of understated sensuality a la Jackie-O. Our current fave from Surly Girl features one of this years big trends; metallic materials. These bags truly shine! From their Red Carpet Collection, this bag features a silver metallic lambskin exterior, large Austrian crystals and high end nickel hardware. Divas watch out!

Terry Hatcher, everyone's favorite desperate housewife, has been seen everywhere this year. With the success of her smash hit television program, it comes as no surprise. She has been seen around New York sporting bags from Lorelei. These purses are both simple and extravagant; simple designs with extravagant patterns. We absolutely love the "Lindsay" model in Cobalt and Gold. Everything you need to take out with you for an evening will fit snugly into this wonderful envelop clutch. Oh yes! They're real and they're spectacular!

Whatever your tastes are, there is certainly a perfect handbag out there for you. Look to the stars, and the answers will come to you! We'll see you at the opening!
